Microwave Intermodulation in High-Tc Superconducting Microstrip Resonators
نویسندگان
چکیده
|We present experimental results on microwave intermodulation measurements on a High Tc Superconducting band-reject microstrip resonator which exhibits unconventional 2:1 intermodulation products. We discuss unusual features of this 2:1 behavior that are uncovered by detailed frequency swept and unbalanced power measurements. We also introduce a phenomenological theory which arises from a nonlinear inductance of the form L = L0 + jIj which quantitatively describes the observed response.

Imaging of microwave intermodulation fields in a superconducting microstrip resonator
Nonlinearities give rise to intermodulation distortion in superconducting microwave devices and currently limit their use to low power applications. We have developed a cryogenic imaging technique to spatially resolve intermodulation distortion and used it to image an 8.2 GHz high temperature superconducting Tl2Ba2CaCu2O8 microwave resonator. The images reveal that the fundamental and intermodu...
متن کاملIntermodulation gain in nonlinear NbN superconducting microwave resonators
We report the measurement of intermodulation gain greater than unity in NbN superconducting stripline resonators. In the intermodulation measurements we inject two unequal tones into the oscillator—the pump and signal—both lying within the resonance band. At the onset of instability of the reflected pump we obtain a simultaneous gain of both the idler and the reflected signal. The measured gain...
متن کاملExtreme nonlinear phenomena in NbN superconducting stripline resonators
We study giant nonlinear phenomena that emerge near a bifurcation threshold (BT) in a microwave superconducting stripline resonator. Above the BT the system becomes astable and self-sustained modulation of the reflected power off the resonator occurs. The giant nonlinearity manifests itself in an extremely high intermodulation gain, accompanied by a very strong noise squeezing and period doubli...
متن کاملSuperconducting Microstrip-Fed Antenna Coupled to a Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector
A proper antenna to couple to a microstrip Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector (MKID) is designed and simulated. A twin-slot microstrip-fed inline antenna is designed for frequency band of 600-720~GHz integrated with an elliptical lens and coupled to the MKID. A systematic design procedure for design of such antenna with microstrip inline feeding is presented. Whole structure of lens and twin...
متن کاملCurrent Distribution and Nonlinearity of Open-Ends and Gaps in Superconducting Microstrip Structures
Superconducting devices are known to produce nonlinear effects. In planar structures, these nonlinearities depend on the current distribution on the strip, which definitely depends on the structure of device. This paper used a numerical method based on 3D-FEM to obtain the current distribution in the open-ends and gaps in the superconducting microstrip structures. This is used to present the no...
